  • Abstract
    In this paper we report our results from the process development and characterization of KMPR®1025 as a complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process compatible masking layer for the deep reactive ion etching (RIE) of fused silica. The processing conditions and the etch resistivity of KMPR®1025 as a function of different parameters like pressure, gaseous composition, gas flow rate and hard-bake conditions are examined in details in this study.
